"This is as good as as a play." "It's the best acted play I ever saw, from 'Ten Nights in a Bar-room' to 'Struck Oil," rejoined Jesse Bulrush, with a face still half ashamed yet beaming. "But, tell me, you heartless little woman, are the verses worth anything? Do you think she'll like them?" Kitty grew suddenly serious, and a curious look he could not read deepened in her eyes.
After a meal of fish and wild duck, together with a pasty kind of bread made from the bulrush root, which I found palatable, I was permitted to lie down in one of their gunyahs upon a bed of freshly-picked leaves, where, in spite of my anxieties, I soon fell asleep. Toward morning I awoke to a full conviction of my sorry plight.
Let us imitate them; let us extend our business, and at the same time press forward into higher society." "Goodness! Birotteau, do you know what I am thinking of as I listen to you? You are like the man who looks for knots in a bulrush.
No congregation of frogs at twilight gather to the green edges of the unfettered pond to sing their Old Hundred, led by venerable Signor Cronker, in his bright, buskin doublet, mounted on a floating stump, and beating time with a bulrush. No Shad-spirits with invisible wings, perform their undulating vespers in the heavens, to let the fishermen know that it is time to look to their nets.
This was not apparent to her Bulrush, though Crozier and Kitty understood. Jesse only saw in the blue-garbed, clear-visaged woman a mistress of his heart, who had all the virtues and graces and who did not talk. That, to him, was the best thing of all.

To time and a wife it is no disgrace for a man to bend. It is the form of submission of the bulrush to the wind, of courtesy in the cavalier to a lady. 'Oh, here you are, Rowsley, Lady Charlotte exclaimed at the drawing room door. 'Well, and I don't like those Louis Quinze cabinets; and that modern French mantelpiece clock is hideous.
"Come and say good-bye, won't you?" he called to her. "S. O. S. S. O. S. S. O. S.!" was the cry in her heart, but she called back to him from her lips, "I can't. I'm too busy. Come back soon, soldier." With a wave of the hand he was gone. "Not a care in the world she has," Crozier said to Jesse Bulrush. "She's the sunniest creature Heaven ever made."
Hsiang Ling recited: All o'er the ground is spread, alas, this bright, refulgent gem; But with an aim; for it is meant dry herbage to revive. T'an Ch'un said: Without design the dying sprouts of grain it nutrifies. But in the villages the price of mellow wine doth rise. Li Ch'i added: In a good year, grain in the house is plentiful. The bulrush moves and the ash issues from the tube.
When it is ready it knows somehow, and the ugly, grubby thing climbs up out of the water on a flag or a bulrush, and bursts open its back." "Come, I don't believe that," said Tommy, who was not an observant boy, and really thought Dick was "making up." "It does burst open its back, don't it?" and Dick appealed to Mr.
A still graver question was whether such resistance as they could offer to the renowned Stadholder, whose name was magic to every soldier's heart not only in his own land but throughout Christendom, would not be like parrying a lance's thrust with a bulrush.
